The Rose Boyfriend Cardigan Kit is a beautiful project for makers who want a cardigan they will actually wear. This is the kind of cardigan that lives on the back of a chair and gets reached for every day.
 
Rose is a longline button-through cardigan designed by Louisa Harding, with patch pockets, ribbed trims and a softly oversized silhouette. Worked in stocking stitch using Tulla Tweed, it is a straightforward knit with a lot of wearable personality. The yarn's self-striping colourways and tweedy flecks move through the fabric, giving the finished cardigan depth and colour without a single complicated stitch.
